Occupy Lexington reunion media coverage. W/video/photos.

Lexington,Ky Occupy was the longest lasting occupation in the movement. Here is the WTVQ's coverage of the reunion. It is illegal to feed the homeless in the park, but they did it anyway. The cops came, but there wasn't any arrests, just friendly conversation.

My photos at the event. I left early to photograph another location.

I'm getting ready for a three hour shoot at Keeneland's fall meet. I don't have a Telephoto suitable so I'm going wide and work within the limitations of the lens. I hope there is a light fog and the track kitchen isn't too expensive.
